Police dogs visit local primary school

MOD police officers from AWE were accompanied by police Dogs- Spaniel Speedy and German Shepherd Kajo when they visited North Waltham Primary school to give a demonstration and talk about forensic science and drugs awareness.

The dogs carried out several demonstrations. The Spaniel, Speedy (a drug detection dog) carried out a playground search and Kajo, the German Shepherd (general purpose and protection dog) was deployed to catch the fake intruder/criminal.

A pupil from Cedar class said “thank you so much for bringing in the police dogs. We really enjoyed watching Speedy find drugs and the German Shepard’s biting the fake arm. We’d also like to thank you for making us aware of what to do with drugs if we find them and what harm they can cause”.

Science Co-ordinator Courtney Stockton said “I would like to thank everyone involved for a fantastic morning. All the pupils enjoyed the visit and the learning behind it”.
